Legal Question in Family Law in California

Who has the final say on giving a baby up for adoption?

My ex-girlfriend is having a baby of which I am the father. She initially said she wanted to give it up for adoption, now she is changing her mind. I supported her initial decision fully. Do I have any say in this matter as the father?
